View all items in the Federal Aid Category »

Federal work study authorization is given to students who demonstrate significant financial need based upon their FAFSAEFC计算. This program is designed to provide work and income opportunities for university students to assist in paying for college. Students in this program may qualify for up to 20 hours of work per week during the academic year, although generally students work 8 - 10 hours per week. The starting wage for all student workers is the current minimum wage for the state of Ohio.

Once a student is authorized to receive federal work study aid, they should pursue employment by applying for a 校园工作. Actual hiring is done by department managers.

What is Federal 工作研究?
The Federal Work-Study Program provides the opportunity for undergraduate students with financial need to obtain a job which allows them to earn money to help pay education expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to your course of study. Employment as a student worker is similar to employment elsewhere - each student must find a job, work assigned hours, and communicate with their supervisor.

How much will I make?
Your Federal 工作研究 wages will be at least the current Ohio minimum wage, but it may be higher, depending on the type of work you do 和 skills required. Your total Federal 工作研究 award depends on when you apply, your level of need, and Cedarville's funding by the federal government.

我将如何得到报酬?
Student employees are paid bi-weekly based upon the number of hours worked during the payroll period. No Federal 工作研究 student may be paid by commission or fee. Cedarville will deposit your wages directly to your private bank account. Questions about your work study wages earned should be directed to Payroll (937-766-7828).

Can I work as many hours as I want?
No. The amount you earn cannot exceed your total Federal 工作研究 award. When assigning work hours, your employer or financial aid administrator will consider your class schedule and your academic progress.

Are Federal 工作研究 工作 on campus or off campus?
这两个. If you work on campus, you'll usually work for Cedarville University. If you work off campus, your employer will usually be a private nonprofit organization or a public agency, 和 work performed must be in the public interest.

Where may I find employment off-campus for community service work?
